Job Description

Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior PCB Layout Engineer with strong expertise in Altium Designer, multilayer PCB design, and RF/mixed-signal applications. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing complex PCB layouts while ensuring manufacturability, performance, and compliance with engineering standards.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design and optimize complex multilayer PCB layouts, including 8-layer board designs.
  • Collaborate with hardware, RF, and systems engineers to integrate mixed-signal and RF circuitry into PCB designs.
  • Perform PCB floor planning, component placement, routing, and layout optimization.
  • Generate manufacturing deliverables, including Gerber files, fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and complete PCB documentation.
  • Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs).
  • Ensure compliance with design rules, signal integrity, and manufacturing requirements.
  • Support PCB integration, testing, and troubleshooting activities.
  • Work closely with manufacturing partners and vendors to ensure DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly) best practices.
  • Conduct design reviews and Design Rule Checks (DRC) to ensure quality and compliance.


Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong experience in PCB layout and design.
  • Advanced proficiency with Altium Designer.
  • Hands-on experience with multilayer PCB designs (8-layer or higher preferred).
  • Experience with RF PCB layout techniques and RF power amplifier/pallet designs.
  • Strong understanding of mixed-signal PCB design principles.
  • Experience creating manufacturing drawings and electronic documentation.
  • Knowledge of PCB fabrication and assembly processes.
  • Familiarity with DFM, DFA, and industry-standard PCB design practices.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working in aerospace, defense, telecommunications, or high-reliability electronics environments.
  • Knowledge of signal integrity, EMI/EMC considerations, and high-speed PCB design.
  • Experience supporting PCB prototypes through production release.
